What a finish. Pretty sluggish at times in the 1st half, slow on the ball. 2nd half much better, and the quality of the bench won it. We really cannot go into the games with Arma as the central striker, that is ridiculous. Manning was superb when he came on, quality crosses, goal and an assist. Shout to Charles, who's cross-field ball to Manning was brilliant. Edwards ropey, Quarshie not a comfortable on the ball, Bazunu with a brilliant save and Stephens was good, particularly clearing up for Edwards. Manning Sky's MoM - well deserved.

What a finish

What a miss by Downs though!!!

LOL worth every year of that contract!!

He has shown quality on the ball as soon as he came on....brilliant free kick

We are turning into prime-rump Stoke City

Manning at least has put some quality crosses in.

The ref is atrocious

Another penalty....glad we dont have VAR anymore

Great from Stephens there

all well and good we have had 20 shots, but apart from hitting the post, we have not been that threatening..

he has been alright..

I guess we won't be judging the outcome of a season on just one game then (like last night)?

That was a penalty for us all day

get Arma off ffs. what was that

It is like the shit-train has not been cleaned out at all. Same fucking shit. This reminds me a bit of Juric.

He was onside

They are just quoting the laws of the game

Ref should have sent Edwards off

throw us into the mix

Fernandes has to come on, as well as Downs & Archer

I thought we were generally terrible.. Crap would be generous. They are making is play around them, whilst we he have zero pace/power in the final 3rd. We are still pretty slow on the counter, allowing them to get 10 behind the ball pretty easily. Fraser done alright, Defence open, Arma terrible as a central striker (think he would do alright wide like the other season). Edwards poor, Quarshie looks like an accident waiting to happen.... Just sooooo poor from an attacking PoV. Slow, sideways at times, and no real power up top

Id take Robinson and Fraser off at HT, and get Downs/Archer and Fernandes on

Another hoof up to Armstrong What the fuck? Still will surely change this at HT????

We have. no power up top what so ever...nothing, the ball is just coming straight back...
